Chapter 614: Chapter 612 Peace of Mind_1

"These herbs must sell for a lot of money!"

"I’m so jealous and envious!"

"Xia Ningxing is just too awesome!"

Everyone couldn’t help but exclaim, their eyes wide as bells, both astonished and envious, wishing they could just snatch them away and claim them as their own.

Besides Mrs. Xia Ning and Lu Tingli, only a few had the privilege to view the projector, while the rest who lacked such status had to stay at the forest entrance, blindly joining in on the bustle.

Hence, they were clueless about how Xia Ningxing acquired these herbs.

Amid everyone’s astonishment, Lu Tingli only felt relieved.

God knows how worried he had been these past five hours.

Thankfully, the big screen was broadcasting the inside scene live, or else he might have gone mad.

He didn’t care if she could complete the assessment, nor did he care if she could seize the position of the Ning Family Head, all that mattered to him was her safe return.

"Next, please have the contestants place the medicinal herbs in the designated area for registration," the proctor called out using a megaphone.

Many people went up and did so.

Xia Ningxing was no exception.

After submitting the required medicine, she kept the ginseng and Lingzhi mushrooms for herself.

The competition didn’t stipulate that non-contest related herbs had to be turned over, so Xia Ningxing wasn’t foolish enough to give them up.

After handing over the herbs, Xia Ningxing turned around only to be tightly embraced by Lu Tingli.

His embrace was safe and warm, and carried the fresh scent of mint.

"Lu, I’m okay." Although he hadn’t spoken, Xia Ningxing knew he was worried, so she quickly spoke to soothe him, gently patting his back, comforting the man.

Even though Lu Tingli always appeared calm and collected, Xia Ningxing knew that when it came to her and the child, even the smallest issue could make him extremely anxious.

"Hmm."

Even with just one word, Xia Ningxing could feel his tension noticeably relax.

Actually, Lu Tingli knew that Xia Ningxing was fine while he was watching, but he still wanted to hear her say it herself.

Only then could he be truly at peace.

"Xia Xia." After the couple’s intimate moment seemed enough, Xia Ningxing walked over holding Chuanchuan, handed the child to Lu Tingli, and then embraced Xia Ningxing with a mix of admiration and pity, whispering softly in her ear, "My girl, you’ve worked hard."

If she wasn’t so ideal to manage the Ning Family, Mrs. Xia Ning wouldn’t have wanted her to participate in this assessment.

After all, it was indeed dangerous.

In the past, she herself had narrowly survived to become the Family Head of the Ning Family, and even though the rules and assessments change each year, the level of danger remains roughly the same.

"It’s okay, Mom." After comforting Lu Tingli, Xia Ningxing then turned to reassure Mrs. Xia Ning.

Although the competition seemed difficult and dangerous to others, Xia Ningxing felt it was manageable.

Probably because she was capable.

"Mommy!" At that moment, Chuanchuan in Lu Tingli’s arms stretched out his hands eagerly towards her: "Hug! Hug hug!"

Finally seeing his mom in the flesh, he was ecstatic! Overjoyed!

The little one was already impatient to be held in the warm embrace of his mom.

Maybe it’s because the mother gives birth to the child, which is why kids tend to cling to their mothers more than their fathers.

Without waiting for Xia Ningxing’s response, Lu Tingli began to chide, "You little rascal, your mom has just finished the competition, isn’t she tired? Why the need for hugs? Isn’t it fine that I’m holding you?"

He wore a straight face, and his tone was cold.

Don’t think he didn’t know that the little brat was disapproving of the way he held him.

If it weren’t for the fact that this was his own kid and that he couldn’t walk yet, he wouldn’t hold him even if he begged!

The little guy pouted his lips, wanting to retort and proudly say "no way," but fearing a beating, he could only weakly lower his hands.

His long eyelashes fluttered in a look of grievance.

"Lu, it’s okay," Xia Ningxing said with a smile as she pulled out a disinfectant wipe from her pocket and cleaned her hands before trying to take the little one into her arms.

Children’s bodies are fragile, with low resistance and immunity, so it’s best to disinfect the hands or both parts before holding a child, as this can effectively reduce bacterial infection.

This is especially true during flu season.

"Mommy!" The little guy immediately burst into joyful laughter, almost blooming like a chrysanthemum, eagerly reaching out his hands again.

Unfortunately, Lu Tingli stepped ahead, holding him firmly and not allowing Xia Ningxing to hold him.

"Don’t hold this kid; he’s very heavy and will tire you out."

Xia Ningxing shook her head speechlessly.

Mrs. Xia Ning smiled behind her hand, her heart brimming with contentment. What could make a mother-in-law happier than seeing her son-in-law cherish her daughter!

The other people, especially the married women, looked at Xia Ningxing with envious and jealous eyes.

This woman must have saved the earth or something for her husband to be so good to her!

Ning Mo also witnessed this scene. She couldn’t help but bite her tongue tip, her eyes filled with admiration as she looked at Lu Tingli’s tall and impressive figure.

A man who is so handsome, wealthy, considerate, and gentle should belong to her, Ning Mo!

Once she became the Head of the Ning Family, she would surely find a way to get Lu Tingli and make him exclusively hers.

After all, the Family Head of the Ning Family would have access to many exotic medicines in the collection room, including those that can captivate people’s hearts!

Even the toughest of people would have to succumb then!

Thinking this, Ning Mo couldn’t help but smile with pleasure.

She was confident she would become the Family Head.

Because she had performed very well this time!

She believed she could definitely beat Xia Ningxing!

After they got home, the little guy finally got to snuggle in his mother’s arms.

"Mommy... eat... eat!" The little guy managed to pull out a millennium Lingzhi from Xia Ningxing’s pocket and was about to stuff it into his mouth.

Xia Ningxing’s eyes widened in shock, and she quickly snatched it away: "You can’t eat this!"

Such a tonic was dangerous for a child as young as him.

After snatching it away, Xia Ningxing couldn’t help but tap his little head with her finger: "You little rascal, always picking the good stuff!"

There were other herbal medicines in her pocket, yet this kid impressively picked the most valuable and nourishing one.

Chuanchuan immediately laughed "hehe," affectionately nuzzling against Xia Ningxing.

"If you eat things recklessly again, I’ll spank you!" Lu Tingli, having heard the mother and son’s conversation, was coming over with a stern expression.

It might be under control now, but in the future, who knows if he might eat something he shouldn’t.

A child’s esophagus and digestive system are so delicate, and since they can’t express themselves well, swallowing something dangerous could become life-threatening.

That’s why Lu Tingli was taking it so seriously, fearing the little guy might come to harm.
